Save Money in Orlando by Staying in a Vacation Home

If you're like most families, you pack up the kids and head down to Orlando
to stay in a hotel room, or maybe two if you're got a big party. If you want
some extra space, you might opt for a suite. At least it gives you a kitchen,
even though you might still be a bit cramped.

Have
you ever thought about booking a vacation home? Yes, a home, a full-fledged,
full-sized house with a kitchen, living room, and multiple bedrooms and bathrooms.
Many even have their very own swimming pools. No more dealing with crowded hotel
pools. Your family has its very own private spot to cool down.

That probably sounds expensive, but vacation homes in Orlando are surprisingly
affordable when you break them down to a per-person rate. Larger families are
forced to get multiple hotel rooms, and you can't always get rooms that connect
or that are even next door to each other, especially if you're coming to Orlando
at a busy time of year. Some hotels have suites, but they're more expensive
than standard rooms and usually still have limited space.

A house guarantees that everyone stays together, yet the whole family still
gets room to spread out. The younger kids can be napping in one room while their
older siblings play in the pool and the parents lounge in the sun while watching
them from the deck.

Vacation homes save money in other ways, too. One of the biggest is food costs,
as a fully equipped kitchen complete with a stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator,
dishwasher, and other appliances lets you cook meals instead of springing for
theme park food or restaurants. Most of the Orlando tourist areas have grocery
stores nearby. Stock up at the local Publix and eat at least one meal per day
in your vacation home. You won't even have to buy disposable plates and utensils
because the homes provide cookware, dishes, and silverware as a standard perk.

Another
savings comes from reduced luggage fees. The airlines are always looking for
ways to increase their revenue stream, and most charge your for checked bags.
Staying at a vacation home allows you to pack less because you'll have a washer,
dryer, and ironing board. It might not be pleasant to do laundry while you're
on vacation, but you'll feel a lot more cheerful when you think about the extra
money in your pocket.

Some hotels in Orlando charge for parking, but that's not a concern when you
rent a vacation home. You don't have to worry about circling the parking lot
looking for a spot that doesn't require a long hike with the kids in tow either.
Just pull right into your own driveway.

Vacation homes have benefits that go beyond your pocket book. Privacy and space
to spread out is priceless. If you have a baby or young kids who need their
midday nap, you know what a disaster it can be if noisy hallways with slamming
doors and running, screaming neighbors wake them up when they're sleeping in
a hotel room. You don't have to worry about that when you have a literal home
away from home. Tuck them in and they'll sleep soundly, regaining their energy
for a return to the theme parks later or an excursion to other attractions.
